Measurements of the sunlight reaching the Earth's surface show that between about 1960 and 1990 the Earth experienced a decline of between 4 and 6 per cent in the amount of sunlight reaching the ground. It became known as 'global dimming'. Last week this was confirmed in a study showing that global dimming has indeed come to an end and that we have now entered a period of 'global brightening'. Over the past decade the days have brightened by about 4 per cent.

The most obvious explanation is that the Sun is going through a cycle of higher activity which is throwing more solar radiation our way. Others think that clouds could provide the answer, while some suggested that the answer lies in the amount of pollutant particles in the atmosphere caused by heavy industry.

"Air pollution has reduced as the atmosphere has got cleaner [, eliminating dimming]. However, in developing countries that are building an industry based on the burning of fossil fuels, sunlight dimming is significant," says Charles Long from the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Hey Boggers: I'm a blogger on the FIGU forum http://www.figu.org/cgi-local/forum/us/discus.cgiand someone sent me this because I read the article on Global warming. I love you Fintan but the truth is truth.

Here is, somewhat more Scientifical explanations, on the facts of GlobalWarming and so forth..in details. And Billy making the information knownand it's Consequences.

Eduard Meier made copies of that message and sent one to Michael McElroyat the address provided by those ET' visitors. He never heard fromMcElroy, but his letter never came back either. He also sent copies to theSecretary General of the United Nations, and to various Departments of hisown government and to various local newspapers. None of them everresponded to any attempts at follow-up.

In response to subsequent questions by Meier, the ET's added the followinginformation: The industrial gasses most concerned are heavy and riseslowly, some taking years to reach the ozone layer. They pick up one ormore ions from the ozone belt and, changing chemistry as well as weight.slowly fall back to the surface, carrying the ions with them. This hadgone on since the beginning of our industrial age, but has been increasingon a sine scale with our rapid rate of industrialization, and the furthercontamination by vehicles of all kinds and most disastrously jet aircraft.

This was announced to Meier in early 1975, and back then they said thatthey measured over 6% loss present, not counting the dangerous gassesalready rising, some of which would take years to get there. Theyestimated that if we were able to stop ALL contamination at that time, therising gasses could deplete the ionosphere by another 10% or more, enoughto produce mutations in all living things!

We did not stop. We did not even pay any attention to the warning.Consider now the following information extracted from Science News, Vol.129, No. 9, 1986:

"Ozone, the atmospheric chemical that shields earth life from harmfulultraviolet radiation, has had a volatile political and scientifichistory. Battles have been waged over the extent to whichchloroflourocarbons (CFCs) and other chemicals injected into theatmosphere, primarily by human endeavors, attack the cosmic layer (SN:9/14/B5, p165). Predictions of the resultant ozone depletion occurringglobally in the next century have ranged from 3 to 18 percent asscientists work to unravel the mind-boggling complexity of atmosphericchemistry (SN:4/12/82, p244)."

"But as researchers have pored over the data in search of very subtleannual changes in global ozone chemistry, they have failed to notice thatthe South Pole's ozone concentration during October has dropped much moredrastically -- by 40 percent since the mid-1970s."

"Scientists now know that an "ozone hole" looms over the entire continentof Antarctica every October and has been getting more severe every year."

"The chemistry of the ozone layer worldwide is also plagued byuncertainties. But as the recent NASA report concludes, researchers nowhave compelling observational evidence that trace gasses other than CGCs -such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide - are increasing on aglobal scale (SN: 5/18/85, p308). And scientists now realize that thetrace gasses affecting ozone chemistry are the same as those thatcontribute to or alter the greenhouse warming of the planet; the twoproblems are intimately coupled."

"The report, to which 150 scientists from 11 nations contributed,concludes: 'Given what we know about the ozone and trace-gas-climateproblems, we should recognize that we are conducting one giant experimenton a global scale by increasing the concentrations of trace gasses in theatmosphere without knowing the environmental consequences."

That report was accompanied by a sequence of six color maps made by theTotal Ozone Mapping Spectraneter (TOMS) on the polar-orbiting Nimbus-7Satellite launched by NASA in 1978 (three years after the Pleiadianwarning). They clearly show a six-fold increase in the size of the ozonehole at the South Pole from 1979 through 1984. If this is not cause foralarm, nothing is...

But that is not all the harm being done. If we need confirmation, we needonly turn to an article, "The Dark Side of the Sun", on page 6O ofNEWSWEEK for June 9, 1986, where they show that melanoma (skin cancer)has increased tenfold since 1930 (early in the industrialization of thisplanet). Since 1930, the lifetime incidence of this form of skin cancerhas gone from 1 in every 1,500 people to 1 in every 150, the tenfoldincrease, and mostly in the last 10 years.

As the South Pole faces toward the sun, the North Pole lies in darkness.Therefore, the negative, unassembled particles in the upper atmospherewill tend to "settle in" near the North Pole, and will assemble withpositive ion there. When once again the North Pole faces toward the sun,the resulting negative plasma will be forced to the surface of Earth. Ourcalculations indicate that in the early months of 1987, a hole in theionosphere will be found to have appeared over the North Pole.

Some of the results of this disruption of the ionosphere will haveimmediate effects. For instance, as great shells of this negative plasmaare pushed into existing shells of plasma, very adverse and abnormalweather conditions will be experienced world wide. In areas where theionosphere is thicker, there will be an over filtering of solar energy,causing a reduction of sunlight available on earth and a subsequentincrease in rainfall. In areas where the ionosphere has thinned, expectsevere heat waves and drought conditions. Also, iron deposits attractthese negative particles of mass and energy, and so areas with largedeposits of iron can expect drastic changes in their weather cycles. Aless immediate effect of this attraction to iron deposits will be thatlife forms in these areas will experience genetic changes, and an alarmingincrease in birth defects will be seen in these areas. Likewise, incidentsof cancer and other diseases related to a breakdown in immune systemactivities will be noted.

As the destruction of the ionosphere continues, more drastic effects willbe observed. For example, as these undetected particles of mass and energyare accepted at the poles (and elsewhere) they will undoubtedly result inan increase in the energy exchange of our planet. This will cause anincrease in the rotation rate of the Earth. At first this increase will beconsidered a negligible factor, but the increase will be progressive, andwill eventually result in the earth changing it's orbit. The elliptic willincrease, and the Earth will begin it's drift away from the sun.

The increase in energy exchange will also 'wheat" up the interior of ourplanet, resulting in great internal pressure. This pressure will bereleased in the form of great earthquakes and increasingly greatervolcanic actions. The end result of these actions will be greatcontinental shifts, and areas lying along existing fault lines will be atgreat risk. This increase in energy exchange will also cause a warming ofthe earth's surface, and the polar ice caps will begin to melt. Coastlineareas will begin to disappear.
